[00:37.154]I pushed your head down
[00:39.907]Flat onto the page
[00:42.656]I held the weapon
[00:45.651]Flat against your face
[00:48.405]I remembered the promise
[00:50.656]That I had made
[00:53.908]And turned the pen back
[00:56.657]Back onto myself
[00:58.900]So you can stick your words of comfort
[01:01.650]And you can take your well wishes too
[01:04.656]Singing Allez les blues!
[01:07.652]Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
[01:12.402]Allez les blues!
[01:14.399]I know your shape and
[01:16.650]I know your size
[01:19.658]You are the weight of
[01:21.654]The concrete boots that pull me under the tide
[01:24.649]And now you're marching on to a different drum
[01:27.656]Leaving my body here without a beat
[01:30.398]A body drained of all feeling
[01:32.406]Can be nothing but a piece of meat
[01:35.901]So you can stick your words of comfort
[01:38.908]And you can take your well wishes too
[01:41.904]Singing Allez les blues!
[01:44.399]Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
[01:47.906]Allez les blues!
[01:50.655]Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
[01:54.846]Allez les blues!
[01:56.855]This lump in my throat
[01:59.105]Is the knot that you tied
[02:02.102]With a flick of your tongue
[02:04.854]And a wink of your eye
[02:07.849]This lump in my throat
[02:10.846]Is the knot that you tied
[02:13.595]With a flick of your tongue
[02:16.348]And a wink of your eye
[02:19.355]This lump in my throat
[02:22.105]Is the knot that you tied
[02:24.847]With a flick of your tongue
[02:27.854]And a wink of your eye
[02:30.850]This lump in my throat
[02:33.599]Is the knot that you tied
[02:36.095]With a flick of your tongue
[02:39.348]And a wink of your eye
[02:42.098]Yeah but the fire keeps me warm
[02:44.851]And keeps my heart alive
[02:51.352]You pushed my head down
[02:53.603]Flat onto the page
[02:56.598]You held the weapon
[02:59.352]Flat to my face
[03:02.601]You remember the promise
[03:05.097]That you would break
[03:07.850]But now the bloodline
[03:11.598]Runs through my veins
[03:36.594]Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
[03:39.848]Allez les blues!
[03:42.355]Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
[03:45.106]Allez les blues!
